But it is practically impossible for Google to mark all the important landmarks and explain all routes with complete accuracy. Google helps us come over this shortcoming by letting us create custom map on Google maps through mymaps.google.com.

If you need to explain some route to your buddies in more detail than that given in the standard Google maps then you can create your own maps and mark some more landmarks, directions, markers, measurements and other details so that it can be understood precisely.
